The Clothes Closet distributes more than 1,000 items of clothing each Friends Day. These Saturdays also include the Senior Mobile Pantry, through which drivers deliver bags of groceries and companionship to senior citizens without transportation. On these Saturdays, Coldwater’s Friends Day Lunch Program provides an opportunity to build friendships by sharing a nutritional meal together. Coldwater received the Harvesters Circle of Hope Award for this on-site feeding program. Volunteers serve 150 to 250 meals each Friends Day.
Other services administered through Friends Day include Christmas Adoptions, school supply distribution, medical screenings, healthy food choice demonstrations, and the distribution of fruits and vegetables from community gardens.

The Out4Others Missions Week Program is designed to train youth to become longtime volunteers in their community. The two-week program includes a week of training for two different age groups -- fifth through sixth grade and seventh through eighth grade. During each week, the group discusses the importance of volunteering in their community and different volunteer opportunities available. Students also go to different locations in the community during the week to do hands-on projects.
